Hi Ray,
Mammograms are not the most comfortable of procedures. I had my doubts about the need last yr with my neurostimulators insitu in the subclavicular area. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer picked up on a mammogram around the same time I (a little reluctantly) had mine so for me it's something I no longer resent when I think of her.
Winnie regarding your access review controller... I'm with you regarding the panic but I was told to get a new nine volt battery every 3 months for it.
Regards,
Lee

Just read one of Diane's posts which claimed in about ten years DBS as done
now would be replaced by nanotechnology which would get hairlike electrodes
to your brain without drilling holes in your skull and putting the leads
under your scalp.
I stopped having mammograms due to implants and had decided never to have
another MRI, but guess I could survive being turned off again, I had to be
when I had redo of left brain. The whole bed shoke in surgery. My problem
is in explaining my condition to medical personnel who are not up to speed
since I can barely speak. AAAAARRRGGGG!!!
